linux-2.6.30-rc(ANY) solves the problem with speed, but still freezes in a few (10-20-30) minutes of work in UXA mode. And this time it freezes not only X desktop, but the whole system -- it's not possible to switch into console anymore (and yes, DontZap=false).

Upgrading from xorg-edgers (in addition to linux-2.6.30) solves the freezes. Upgrading from ubuntu-x-swat doesn't help, but I think it is some library (libdrm or mesa) that solves the freezes, not the intel driver itself, because upgrading from xorg-edgers (with intel-2.7.99) and then rolling back to intel-2.7.0 from ubuntu-x-swat also solves the freezes.

I've described step-by-step process of solving this problem for MSI Wind: http://nolar.info/linux/ubuntu/msi_wind_u100_compiz (russian only, sorry).
